Using igbinary serializer

Using igbinary serializer

Been reading a little bit about igbinary and I am wondering if anyone is using it. Any problems ?

I installed the extension on my test machine running PHP 5.4.21 with the following settings:

extension=igbinary.so

igbinary.compact_strings=on

session.serialize_handler=igbinary

I tested this using MoodleHQ Performance comparison script and it looks like the sessionsize is reduced almost 50% with little change in latency although server load did go up a bit.

I've used the igbinary serializer before with Moodle and didn't run into any problems.  The main reason I used it was to reduce the size of the serialized session, so I wasn't really paying much attention to changes in performance.  I can say it didn't seem to negatively impact performance.
